 | | This river, at one time, had been canalized, in so far that there are seven locks in that distance, but these are all totally in disuse now, and entail very heavy and troublesome portages thereat, sometimes extending to, say, 50 yards or more. |
 | | The river is tidal up to its junction with the Rother, and fortunately we just caught the ebb from the beginning, which greatly helped us for the remaining 14 miles we had to travel to Arundel. |
 | | The Rother is particularly worth doing, even with all its difficulties, and the Arun, too, is a fine navigable river, with pleasant rural surroundings and fine scope for motor boating, and by accomplishing these journeys we have done these rivers to the full so far as it is possible. |
